A “fan page” in Facebook can be an effective means of connecting with prospective customers and spreading the word about your business or service. Unlike a Facebook group, a fan page enables you to send updates to your fans without the Facebook-set limit of 5,000 “friends,” which you would encounter if you create a group. Link a workplace to a fan page in Facebook to share information about your business.

1.

Navigate to the Facebook website and log in with your workplace or business Facebook account credentials. Navigate to the “Create a Page” webpage. Select the type of fan page you want by choosing from “Local Business or Place,” “Company, Organization or Institution,” “Brand or Product,” “Artist, Band or Public Figure,” “Entertainment” or “Cause or Community.”

2.

Add a photo to your fan page, if you desire. Invite friends of your business, or import business contacts from your business email account.

3.

Enter your workplace or business website into the “Website” field. Enter a description of your fan page in the “About” field.

4.

Choose a category for your fan page from the drop-down menu, then name your page. Read the "Terms of Use" for Facebook fan pages and click the box that indicates you agree. Click “Get Started.”

5.

Check to make sure the fan page category looks the way you desire. Make any changes necessary by clicking “Edit Page.”

6.

Click “Add Like Box” to place a link to your fan page on your business webpage. Determine the size and colors, then add a stream that tells people how many fans you already have. Click “Get Code,” then copy the code that Facebook provides to your clipboard by clicking "Ctrl" and "C." After you copy the code to your clipboard, paste it into the HTML code of your website.
